Neural Networks can always be hard-coded. Unless I'm confused... I'm
not an AI expert. Here's my reasoning: NNs can be represented as
Cellular Automata, which can be represented as k-tape TMs, which can
be represented as single-tape TMs. Hard-coding doesn't have to
remove their ability to "learn," but making a "learning" single-tape
TM would be... challenging.

I'm not sure how converting the NN to a hash would be an improvement
over starting with a static method. Cellular Automata could be a bit
faster than a Neural Net, and even I coudl convert a NN to
CA. However, if you want the CA implementation to keep learning,
"training" would be tricky. Or so I imagine. Did I mention that I'm
not an AI expert?
